I'm back, and good news

Well guys I'm back to fuck with you, and I have a clean bill of health so I still have my pilots and racing licence.
Now for some good news. While I was getting some tests done I had a chance to do some drag racing. I qualified in 2nd place behind a Vette who was running a 9.87@152MPH. I was .4 off his time, but being a poor loser, and after killing 5 other cars, only him and me we're left to deside who is class winner. Well being the Asshole I am and knowing my engine had more in it, changed my 2nd stage spray jets to 250HP, changed my blower pulley for 28# boost, retarded my timing 2 more degrees, put a larger jet in my water/alky injector reset my computer for 200RPM more before shifts and lowered my tire pressure to 10lbs, I was ready to do war.
We did our burn-outs and staged. I held back staging for 20 seconds as I wanted him edgy hoping for him to red light or lanch slow. Bastard did a perfect lanch and hole shot me by .07 second. I pulled even with him in 2nd gear and hit my 2nd stage spray and pulled him 1/2 car, hit 3rd, kept the spray on and pulled him all the way to the finish line.
His time was quicker than his qualifying time at a 9.85@153MPH, but mine was a [email protected], and another one bites the dust. Needless to say, he was pissed when I told him, "you just got Zed."

Very Nice Win...i love it when i see vette owners get eaten by underrated cars. even civics and other cars i normally dont care for, i cant help but to cheer for the underdog.

BTW: zgringo, im glad your all better. i wish you the best of luck and dont forget about our little discussion!!!

Better figure out how to do that from long distance

Anyway, Zgringo, if you got any pictures or video that would kick ass.

Re: I'm back, and good news

I doubt you would find Broke... I think you would just have to search all of the cabinet companies in Washington state, until you found the biggest asshole, who drives an RPS13, and is more than likely the ugliest guy you've ever met

And thats how you find Broke... Wow... I must be bored.

As for your news Albertiano, its deffinately good news, and I wasnt even aware you were having health issues... What was wrong?

Thats fuckin awsome albert, i wish my N/A would run 9s lol. Nice kill. Good to hear your physically fit to smoke a v8 vette, What year was the vette? Also is your 411 on the same site you posted with your 1/4 mile times before?

You guy's quit acting like you missed me or you'll have me all water eye's.

I need to ask some questions first then I'll try and answer a few.

Wes, What's this I hear that your considering dropping a VK56DE into a Zed? You wouldn't be thinking 'bout kicking the 'ol mans ass would you?
I think it's a killer idea, and with the right cams and very few goodies would be one F**kin awsome ride.

Ivia, off the record I missed you too. Aw shit, I said it.

BlackBettyZ, If you build your botton-end right and install some good pistons, then all you have to do is install 6 75 HP shots of spray and you'll have a 700HP plus car with the switch on, and off a normal N/A Zed.

K3, Sorry but you got it wrong. I wasn't the underdog, the Vette was. You don't fuck with Z Force.

Freak, I'll rent you one of my cars for 10 seconds with a roll of toilet paper.

Broke, Were doing better than pic's or video's. One of my sponsers is setting up a website and it well be loaded.

ZedEx, Is Broke really a asshole and ugly? I don't know about the RPS13, I was told it was a 50cc Honda Moped.

As for my medical problem, the Doc's did a roto-rooter job on me and opened up a artery so I'm still mean as hell.

The cars, well my street car is still the same, only a tish faster. It's just about reached it's limits for a street legal car. My Z32 450ZX is getting the rearend narrowed up more and tubs installed as I'll be running some 18inch wide Hoosier's on it. These tire's are treaded and used for clay tracks and stick like the stink on shit, so shouldn't have any traction problems. I've been thinking about a one piece frontend. Make it real easy to work on.
The Z33 is on track and I got to take it for a test drive without the body. It's light, quick and handles like a dream. It's been setup more for road racing than drag racing but it'll do fine. I really don't think it'll have any problem going 300MPH. I knew the VH and VK45's were good, but never dreamed they'ed make so much power. With a good exhaust and intake they make over 450HP. I think it's a killer upgrade for a Zed, and right now there cheap.

Re: I'm back, and good news

Yea Im thinking of a VK56DE... Maybe DETT later on this summer when I head out to Phoenix.

This guy I know, Christian (musicmansurf on here) has a '71 240Zed that he'll knock off to me for a couple hundred... Then I just have to search the junk yards for a VK, VH, or I may just use one my buddies RBs he has constantly just sitting in his garage.

But we'll see, that should be a FUN car.

Fun my ass, it well be a killer car. I can get you a VH or VK for about $450 to $650 with harness, computer and bellhousing to bolt up to a Z32 automatic. You guy's start doing this kinda shit and you'll piss off alot of vette and porsche owners. You ever compare the specs. of a VH or VK engine? In there stock form with a good exhaust and intake you'll get 450+HP, and with turbo's or a supercharger 700+HP and still kinda stock but one bad, mean mother. Were talking about a car that well smoke the tires as long as you want and run with anything with wheels. I'd call it Z Monster. If money was a problem and you wanted a monster I'd drop one in and install a good 3" exhaust and intake and a 250HP spray system then you'd have a car that could run in the 10's or low 11's. Biggest problem I see is keeping tires on it. Were talking about a car that's 5-700lbs. lighter than a vette and as much or more HP without spray.
When you come out to Phoenix this summer, I'm about 6 hours drive south and west of there and I'll let you drive mine and make you a believer.
